Job Description

The hiring company is a transportation and logistics firm specializing in local Class A CDL driving services. This company focuses on providing opportunities for new drivers entering the transportation industry with minimal experience by offering a comprehensive New Driver/Student Mentoring Program. Their primary mission is both to support new drivers starting their careers and to maintain high safety and performance standards within local freight operations. They operate primarily within a 50-mile radius of Nashville, targeting drivers who prefer home daily routes and local deliveries, ensuring a balanced work-life schedule for their employees.

This is an excellent opportunity for Class A CDL drivers who are relatively new to the industry and are looking for a stable, well-paying job with clear progression paths. The company offers a competitive pay structure beginning with $18 per hour during the mandatory four-week onboarding and paid training program. This initial phase is designed to develop essential skills and build confidence under experienced mentorship. After successfully completing onboarding, drivers transition into the Experienced Driver division, where weekly earnings average between $1,200 and $1,600, reflecting the driver’s growth and experience.

One of the unique features of this job role is the focus on local routes that allow drivers to be home daily, significantly enhancing work-life balance, especially for those who prioritize family and community ties. The freight type involves 100% no-touch freight, meaning drivers do not have to physically handle cargo loading or unloading, which reduces physical strain and allows for a smooth operation tailored primarily to driving skills and route management.

The company’s New Driver/Student Mentoring Program not only provides the necessary training but also continues to support drivers as they gain experience and move into higher earning brackets. New CDL-A drivers without prior experience can join with just a certificate from a truck driving school, making this a highly accessible role for entry-level candidates aiming to build a professional driving career.

Safety is a paramount concern, with all applicants required to meet strict driving history criteria such as no conviction for serious traffic violations in the past three years and no at-fault accidents within the same period. This emphasis on safe driving ensures both driver well-being and the protection of the company's reputation and assets. Overall, the company commits to fostering a professional, supportive, and rewarding working environment for new truck drivers while ensuring operational excellence in local logistics and transportation.
